I stay here 3-4 days per week in a tent on a primitive site. It’s very peaceful down by the river. Some of the RV spots look very tight to me, but my RV is a van so I would use a tent site even if I did sleep in my van there. I have a thousand trails zone Park pass. I think it was $450. Divided by the nights I’ve used it I’m at about $8/ night. I typically use it 6 nights per week. - MrBoondock

Price reflects Thousand Trails membership. Campground is slowly making improvements. They are starting to try and control site usage better as in suggesting sites that better fit the size of the unit and needs. They still need to level some sites and trim some trees but, in their defense, sites become filled as fast as they empty. Sometimes it is hard to get a nice transit sites as they are holding sites to become seasonal but, in a pinch, will let transits use them. Small improvement. - DBLR

Some sites spacious, others crowded, not level but only took couple of boards on one side. WiFi didn't work...said wrong password and staff said " it should work". Not well designed. Host building about 1/2 mile away. Pick your own site. - Marie Hodgdon

This campground is as basic as it gets, besides just going out in the woods. It it mostly for scuba divers. This was a large rock quarry that has been filled with water for scuba diving. They have sunk a few neat things, like a bus, to make it interesting. I stayed here several times for my scuba certification. You basically just pitch a tent or pull your RV into the woods. No electric, no water besides at the main bath house. The biggest complaint is that in the middle of the night, there is a train that comes right through the middle of the campground, usually blaring its horn. It is very scary to be woken up by. The ground shakes and it feels like the train is going to run right over you. But, if you are there to scuba dive, you don't have much of a choice for places to stay. - justthe6ofus

Excellent campground. Staff was very friendly. We only stayed one night so we didn't use any of the facilities, but the campground has a lot including mini golf, dog parks, and a fishing pond. We had no trees so Satellite was no problem and we had good TMobile service. - Chuck Shrader

I love this camp sites. It is very family friendly. They have an onsite store, a pool, checkers table, giant chessboard, and activity center. - Yamileth Karina

Typical high-priced KOA. This was the first KOA I've been to that did not offer a military discount. What irked me the most was charging $6 per person for guests who were joining us for a cookout. I could understand the fee if they were staying for the day and using the pool and other facilities, but my guests stayed for maybe 1.5 hours max and did not leave our site. Grounds were well-maintained with grass well-trimmed and watered. Very little dust from the gravel roads. Even though the area had experienced heavy rain and flooding just the week before, there was no standing water anywhere in the campground. Garbage was picked up daily on-site. - Scubadude62

This is place is a "residential RV camper park" - it is dirty, run down, ducks everywhere (and their droppings), the staff was not nice at all. There are many "permanent" sites that clearly people live in all year and they are deplorable. The swing sets were covered in rust and barely work, there is a bridge over the pond that is ready to sink any minute. Go anywhere else than this place. Not impressed, and will never return. - Lspajm

Lovely small private campground. Currently sitting out under the awning listen to the crickets enjoying a glass of whiskey. Quiet and peaceful. Close to York and the sites. Right on the York Heritage Rail Trail...a must do if your into rail trails. Manager recommended riding into downtown York (4 miles) and going to the farmers market and have lunch at White Rose Bar and Grill....both excellent recommendations. Check out the Harley factory tour. Lots of wineries around here so tomorrow we'll be wetting our whistles. Staying here on site 22 with out 36ft pusher, plenty of room and height. 20 amp electric may be a downfall for the novice camper but if you know how to do it there is no problem. Running our rear AC with no issues. Beautiful scenery and peaceful spot...grab some ice cream at the dairy as well. - Leon Condor

Just a basic CG. On the plus side, it is right next to a recreational trail that runs from York to the MD line. Gravel roads and pads are in fair condition. And it is quiet. On the minus side, not much for services. Unattended registration (at least on Friday). Very wooded and Not suitable for a tall rig (too many low-hanging branches for my 12.5'). There are only a couple sites with 30A electric and those were filled by what appeared to be long-term campers. The rest of the electric was 20A NEMA 5-15 (household type) outlets. The sewer connections were unusual... coming out of the ground at a 45 degree angle (not sure how I would connect my 90 degree elbow to that). Needless to say, we did not stay there and because there was essentially no 30A service, we will not be returning. If you are tent or TT camping and looking for some quiet, this might be your place. - FreeWheeler

We planned on staying here due to access to parks in York. However, after driving through decided to stay in Elizabethtown. The park has several old RVs (not sure if they are occupied). The restrooms are quite old (require security code to use), the connections are quite a distance from the sites. Wouldn't recommend this park. - Softball29

Good experience. Gave us a site on short notice. Easy access from US ROUTE 30. Good voltage and water pressure. On site sewer - easy and clean operation. Site was level. Some road noise, but excellent overnight choice. We will visit again. - D-S

The positive: easy to make a reservation (by phone), close to town and services, very good WiFi. We had a shady spot which was great during the heat wave. Fine for a short stay. Room for improvement: our site had tire ruts that need to be leveled and filled. There is not a picnic table and the grass is poorly maintained. When we arrived the neighbor's pick up was parked in our space. A management person should survey the park and assure that a camper's space is clear. Some of the sites large enough for an RV do not have sewer. Residents and campers are allowed to park vehicles on the road which makes access difficult for larger motor homes and 5th wheels to access road and campsites. We never saw a park management person or employee during our 5 night stay. Reviews from over a year ago mention improvements going on. Aside from those mentioned then we did not see any additional improvements. The remaining manufactured homes need cleaning/maintenance. They are sad eyesores. Would we return? Maybe. - Char B

Since this is the only park available to visit family in York, we have to choose it. It is self check-in registration. The owners do not live on site. The sites are difficult to determine since they are not defined. We've never experienced this at any other park across the country. Power and sewer is a distance from your so called site. Make sure you have two sewer hoses. Sites are dirt with a little gravel scattered and very unlevel. Old concrete pieces from previous trailers are still there and don't fit RV tires. We have wood under our tires and still couldn't get level. The most level sites are along the highway on a curve where trucks use their jake brake. Sleeping is very difficult. There is grass between sites with large dirt patches where others have had mats too long. Grass is usually long and mowing is infrequent. Money was spent to build an over the top fountain and an events building instead of upgrading the RV sites which is what RVers care about. There are still three trailers that are in very poor condition. It could be a decent park if care was put into the sites which desperately need help and trailer owners were made to paint their trailers. - hiker II

Site Details: We stayed in the Dragonfly camping cottage (quick weekend trip without the husband, and I'm not quite up for towing and setting up the popup by myself with 3 kids!). It was a standard rustic-type state park cabin, with one double bed, one single twin bunk, and one regular set of bunk beds, so it sleeps 5-6 comfortably. There was also a sturdy dining room table with chairs and an oscillating fan inside. Electricity/lights and heat, but no AC. Very clean inside. The cabin also had a really nice front porch, picnic table, and fire ring, and was situated with a beautiful lake view. The area we were in contained both rustic cabins and yurts (which looked really neat). Facilities/Overall Park: Multiple bath houses were scattered among various loops, and each one we visited was very old, dim and drab, but they were also spacious and reasonably clean. Showers all had old rust and water stains. However, it was nice that there were so many of them, because this is a very large state park with multiple camping loops. Most tent and basic RV sites were shaded and private, while the newer FHU sites were more open (but still nicely spaced). Hosts and rangers were nice, but not very helpful or proactive when my family members arrived to find their reserved site occupied by someone else (ended up finding a solution, but not the best way to start off the trip). There is a beautiful lake with a really nice day area in the center of the park, with a great playground and concession stand. The lake is popular for fishing and swimming, although there is oddly no sand beach; swimmers just entered the water straight from the grass. Overall, this was a very pretty park with site options for every type of camper, but certain elements are in need of updating. I don't think I'd go out of my way to make this park a destination, but it's a nice option as a base camp for visiting the RV show or other attractions. - Jenventola

I spent the weekend of 8/19-20/2017 at Pinchot State Park while doing volunteer trail work within the park. My site was level, power was good even through 2 major thunderstorms, one each night, bathrooms were clean and the rangers, camp hosts and volunteers were very nice to me. Verizon cell service was good, OTA antenna picked up 10 channels in and near Harrisburg. This is an older park but has been well maintained. - User3064

Despite the fact that the restrooms were clean, it is hard to make something inviting that is out of date and needs remodeling. Crowded on the weekends, like most camps in the summer. If you have a 30+ foot travel trailer, wouldn't recommend the inner loop (very tight for trailer and truck parking). Had to disconnect to make it fit. Stayed 3 nights and enjoyed our time, these are just minor things to know in advance. - Rob Oglesby

OMG. Talk about false advertising! A pool--yes but has been in disrepair and unusable for years. Miniature Golf- yes but the putting greens have more moss than carpet and weeds adorn the course. Clean restrooms-- ha ha ha ha. Talk about gross, smelly and out of date. Even the washing machines are dirty The sites are grass covered and with the recent rains the big rigs are leaving huge ruts in the ground. No wifi or cable. There is a huge area with dumped nonworking machines, yard waste and even a 911 Porsche ( please someone rescue and restore that car). On a positive note, the owner is nice and tried to be accommodating for us. There is also a new dog park. Other than that, nature is reclaiming this park. Such a shame. - Dinky1

This is an older park. The spaces were large with grass all around. Grass was well mowed. The park needs updating. The showers were clean but need improvements.Electricity was stronger than at a lot of parks. Quite a lot of seasonal campers. - Rkserv

Run down park capitalizing on it's excellent location. Almost impossible to level in a park like this. Had to disconnect water because there was so much air in their pipes. Everything is in a state of disrepair. The electricity worked! - Todd Fogelberg

2 night stay on way down south. Campground is next to highway so there is road noise louder the closer you are too it. There is a military base close by so occasional fly overs. We were told that Air Force one does touch downs here at times. Site gravel, level, flat with full hook ups. Lots of trees for shade. Pool is still open. Staff friendly and helpful. - CindyL

Good Location, nice small park. My site was very unlevel, both downhill and side to side. Most of my neighbors had their tires off the ground, trying to level. - RVDolly

This is a nice clean park and a great place to overnight. We are just passing through on our way to Maine, but I've heard there are a lot of attractions in the area. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here longer in that case. The staff person on duty was very friendly and helpful and offered to lead us to our site, but the roads were smooth and easy to navigate so we declined her offer. Our gravel site is neat and level. All utilities are nicely placed for easy access. The electric service is steady with good voltage. The water pressure is good, the sewer port clean and accessable. Refreshingly after the last park in which we stayed, the WiFi service here is quite good. Also Verizon service in the area is strong. The park cable TV worked well. Didn't try the OTA service. I agree with another review, they offer a very nice dog play area here. All in all this is a nice place to visit. We would not hesitate to return. - Airstreamers

Nice campground. Large majority of sites are taken by seasonal/full-time campers. I'd estimate 80%. Staff and campers were very friendly . Nighttime was quiet with no issues. Lots of golf-carts zipping around but they were courteous. Roads are a little tight at times for long trailers though just take your time. All spots are back-in, but room to maneuver so even us novices had no issues. GPS has us go route that had a bridge closed (about 5 miles from campground) for construction, so check road closures. Nice place, would definitely stay again. - StonewallFarms

This is by far one of the nicest campgrounds we have stayed at, the grounds were impeccable, beautiful lake, nice pool, clean grounds overall, the staff was incredibly friendly, activities for both adults and kids. The staff seemed to always be working to improve on something and could not do enough to help you out, stopped by our site a few times just to make everything was ok. Awesome, we will most certainly be back again! Manager Jaron was fabulous and Bonnie at the desk was most friendly as was the activities director!. Can't say enough good things. Seems they plan some upgrades as well. - cbushneck

One of the most attractive campgrounds we have ever stayed at. Rolling hills and lots of grass...Many permanent sites, well maintained and manicured. Transient sites clean and level mixed in make it very attractive. We stayed here in a motorhome. A car is necessary as you are several miles from attractions. - deacon_1
